    Long time neighbour and dear friend. Tex embodied the ideals of dedication (to his faith and family), loyalty, service, sacrifice, and honesty. Special condolences to Gert and the girls (and their families) that Tex always considered his own. His son Bruce and daughter Tracey in the USA were always right next to his heart. His memory lives forever with those that love him so.

    Tex was a loved member of the Hilborn family for over 60 years and will be missed.

    I hope he is having a beer with Joe, Lynne and the rest of them at the farm. I know Dad will find stuff for him to do.

    Thanks Tex for everything you did for all of us.
